    Wow! Just what I've been looking for.

    One of our favorite restaurants is Zio's Italian Kitchen. It's a chain but their Artichoke Chicken Pizza is my favorite. Their menu says:

    Artichoke Chicken
    Creamy artichoke spinach sauce with bacon, topped with sliced chicken breast, fresh tomatoes, artichoke hearts and mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. 7.99

    I even purchased a couple of their pizza dough slabs last time I was there in the hope I could make one.

    Your's is already in my recipe list.

    Thanks.

    OK, so I know it's been a few days since this was discussed, but I bookmarked this thread because I want to try it this weekend.

    I just called a local pizza shop near home, and they will sell me some fresh dough. My question is, do I really need to prebake the dough before the final "building" of the pie?

    Or, can I just assemble the whole thing on the fresh dough and transfer to the pizza stone.

    Sorry for all of the questions...this will be my first attempt at pizza. I really want to get it right!

    Thanks
